Medicinal drugs like ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen can be taken to reduce mentsrual pain and cramps. The ones with regular menstrual cycle can consider taking them one day before the period starts, to avoid natural discomfort during menstruation.

Bleeding do occur after taking such hormonal tablets 1-3 days after taking it. Although there are no chances of pregnancy but there is a possibility of complications due to taking such tablets. So wait for your next periods which may get delayed by 2-4 days due to taking such pills ----------

There is no specific reasons for fibroids to develop and the treatment is you have to get them removed surgically but if it is not giving you any problems and not increasing in size you leave it like that only sometimes small fibroid go symptom less all your life but remember to keep a check on its growth.

What you are having are symptoms of early pregnancy.
Till 3.5 - 4 months, some patients experience symptoms like
headache
giddiness
altered taste in mouth
retrosternal burning
mild breast pain
burning in upper part of tummy (above umbilicus)
mild pain occasionally on lower tummy
frequent passage of urine
gaseous distension of tummy
infrequent motions
weakness
feeling of having no energy in body, limbs
feel tired
feel sleepy all the time
feel listless, not interested in any work,
nausea
vomiting
feel like body has fever, but temperature on measurement is normal
feel as if you are in convalescent eprios
all these symptoms are normal, and are due to the body's response to the hormones released for pregnancy growth.
The major symptom is due to hyperacidity, which causes most of the symptoms.
This can be tackled with dietary alterations:
from getting up to sleeping at night, eat every 2-3 hourly
eat dry food stuffs (puffed rice, biscuits, chapati sabji, papad, peanuts, sprouted beans, khakhara, dhokla, idli, dosa, candy, chikki, sweetmeats from mithaiwala, namkeen items.)
eat just a small wati full every 2-3 hours
try to eat food stuff thats dry. So that it does not come out in vomits
eat food stuff at normal temperature, as hot foods have strong aromas
eat foods with different tastes to prevent boredom
eat food stuff that is ready made, so the energy drained in making it avoided
even if you vomit after every food intake, keep on eating, as food neutralizes the acid produced in the stomach
avoid foods with excess chilli, spices, masala and oil
avoid eating street food esp panipuri, samosas, puris etc
even if a patient vomits she always retains a good part of the eaten food in her tummy. So frequent eating will fulfill her daily requirements
if you have gone to a gynec for a check up she would have prescribed you some anti emetic tablets, take these anti-emetics meant for pregnant women
if plain anti-emetics are not working, you can add to them, some over the counter medicines to tackle acidity like syrups and tablets to reduce acidity as acidity is main cause of vomiting
frequent eating will also keep glucose levels high, and help in making you feel better
avoid- powders which are put in water to make" energy drinks" like glucon-c, d etc which are finally chemicals.
While all kinds of fruits can be consumed in pregnancy, except papaya, pineapple, it is best is to take fruits which are rich in water (watermelon, oranges, sweet lime)
keep yourself occupied by involving yourself in activities like reading, listening to music, learning some art like knittting, sewing etc.

Mr. Lybrate-user, the details of thyroid testing look quite good. Tsh level is lower, but t3 and t4 are fine. So the present dosage of thyroxine seems good enough. Swelling of the body occurs only if hypothyroidism is not well controlled. But apparently that is not the case. Is there any other symptom related to hypothyroidism? I feel current dose is to be continued and tsh is to be checked after 6 weeks and then one can decide.

Mam,
nothing to worry.
This is a common side-effect of tamoxifen. It is usually associated with heavy bleeding. If you do have bleeding please get a d & c done by a gynaecologist.
Please have regular follow-ups for cancer breast. All the best-you will do well.
Regards.

Dear sir, your wife's hb is really less. It was less even at 8th month. She should have received injectable iron for improving hb. Any ways, even now she can take single drop, though the time for delivery is less. She may require blood transfusion in case ofincreased bleeding during delivery or lscs. All the best.

Hi,
it is normal for benign breast lumps to enlarge rapidly during pregnancy. They usually don't turn into cancer. They enlarge secondary to the hormonal changes durimg that time and may regress back later. But if you still have a large persistent lump, please do consult a surgeon in person as a clinical examination will reveal a lot more. And if needed you can get it removed. Most importantly, your doubt regardin cancer will be clarified. Hope his helps. Take care.

U are having a threatened abortion then if you r bleeding and pregnant too. Get an urgent ultrasound done and then let me know if baby is fine or not. If baby is fine then we can give you progesterone support.
